Angela K (ID: 0000008c93499aa0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/12/2021 thanks but it's missing critical features that rikaisama has. i use moon browser just to use rikaisama. it's the feature for exporting the saved words/sentences in a txt file in a specified format. also sanseido is officially DEAD!

Hameer Samejo (ID: 000000e95676f028) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/15/2020 Best RIKAI plugin with ANKI import.. been using it for 3+ years.. it is the best out there!

Carolyn Geiges (ID: 00000075b80f7195) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/27/2020 It was OK in the beginning but now it requested permission to "Read data you copy and paste". This is a real privacy concern. Think of all the passwords and user ID it can steel this way!

Tuan Chu (ID: 00000020eb0fd5e3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/10/2020 Will there be support for Japanese to Vietnamese language? The old Rikaichan on Firefox has it.
